Herculaneum Skip-the-Line Guided Tour with Archaeologist

The tour of Herculaneum was brilliant and the guide, Danilo, was very knowledgeable.  My only gripe may have been my own fault. I followed the directions in the email, thinking that was to the meeting point, wrong, it was to the backdoor of the Archeology Unit.  On re-reading the email I found a second set of directions to the meeting point.  My wife was not impressed with my navigating.

Everything was wonderful!  The guide was very informative and entertaining.  

The only thing I would suggest is changing the picture of where to meet in case our others were literal like us. :)

Eine wirklich gute fachkundige Führung . Viel Informationen von einem für seine Profession beigeistertem Archäologen. Es sprudelte geradezu aus ihm heraus (Luciano Leone).
Einfach nur klasse 👍 

A really good, knowledgeable guided tour. Lots of information from an archaeologist who is passionate about his profession. It just bubbled out of him (Luciano Leone).
Just great 👍

You should mention more clearly that partial cancellation is not possible. Due to that in the future I will buy my tickets from GetYourGuide which has that option.

Knowledgeable tour guide who was very familiar with the site having worked at Herculaneum for many years. Pace of presentation, guide answering all of questions with patience 

Combine your visit to 2 ancient towns preserved under the ash of Mt. Vesuvius! Get tickets to the archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Entrar sin colas, aunque en Pompeia tuve que ir a la taquilla a conseguir la entrada, en Ercolano sin embargo entramos directos

Entering without queues, although in Pompeia I had to go to the ticket office to get the ticket, in Ercolano however we entered directly.

It was easy to book tickets in advance which meant we didn't have to queue. We were able to leave our backpack in a locker for free. The site is small enough for children to manage to get around. Very interesting visit and amazed to see so much preserved history. It felt very sad, though, as it is essentially a large burial ground. Was able to get key info online. A map would have helped which I might have got had I bought tickets locally. I didn't get the audio guide as very expensive and new my 9yo son wouldn't have the patience to listen to it. 

Interessantes Freilichtmuseeum, gut zu durchlaufen, sehr weitläufig. Lageplan verständlich, sollte man gesehen haben. 
Nicht toll war: Ticket online gekauft, da so anstehen vermieden werden soll. Jedoch trotzdem angestanden, musste Handy vorzeigen, alle Daten wurden im Computer abgeglichen resp. notiert. Bekam dann eine Eintrittskarte (??!?) und konnte anschl. eintreten. Zum Glück war wenig los, sonst hätte ich dort bestimmt noch anstehen müssen. Ticket Kauf vor Ort wäre wohl weniger stressig gewesen und auch günstiger!

Interesting open-air museum, easy to walk through, very spacious. Site plan understandable, you should have seen it.
Not great: bought ticket online to avoid queuing. However, I still had to queue, had to show my cell phone, all data was compared or noted in the computer. Then got an admission ticket (??!?) and could then enter. Luckily it wasn't very busy, otherwise I would have had to queue. Buying tickets on site would probably have been less stressful and also cheaper!

Want the freedom of self-discovery and the expertise of a guide at Herculaneum? These skip-the-line tickets with an engaging audio guide have got you covered.

Herculaneum Skip-the-Line Tickets with Official Audio Guide

Tickets initially only avaialable through the app but sent to me as PDF when requested. Easy to use at the site and Herculaneum itself was fantastic - a fascinating site, well worth the visit.

Many thanks for enabling the experience.

La experiencia ha sido genial, no hemos hecho nada de cola. El lugar es fantástico y muy bien conservado. Con la autoguia nos hemos adentrado a lo que había sido Herculano, com vistas de 360° . 



The experience was great, we did not queue at all. The place is fantastic and very well preserved. With the autoguide we went into what used to be Herculaneum, with 360° views.



I loved the history! I bought the skip the line ticket which was easy to use . Parking right next to the site. 
I liked it better than Pompeii  
You can get audio if you like 
Took about 3 hours  great experience!!

Amazing place, so much history and is fairly well documented, food choice on site is poor though with only vending machines available. Easy to book. 

Experience a full day of adventure and history as you gain entry to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Vesuvius National Park.

Round-trip transfers from your hotel in either Pompeii or Naples, an expert driver, and a carefully curated route allow you to make the most of your trip.

Naples to Pompeii Tours

From Pompeii/Naples: Pompeii, Herculaneum & Vesuvius Day Trip

This tour is basically a travel service between Pompei, Mt Vesuvius and Herculaneum. We were taken to Mt Vesuvius and left there - told to meet the bus at particular time. Considerable confusion about which bus to get on - driver very confused. Next we were dropped at Herculaneum with an audio guide that was totally separate to the Herculaneum numbers so when you played it, it didn't match where you were. Got back to bus at time we were told. Company miscounted number of participants so we had to sit and wait an extra 15 minutes. Driver was not happy and drove us back to Pompei in a very unsafe manner (130km/hr) on highway in a rickety minibus. Then we were left at Pompei with audio guide which had to be returned by 5.30 so you could get your ID back. An extremely disorganised company and too expensive to basically pay for transport and entry tickets. Enjoyed climbing Mt Vesuvius and wandering around Pompei and Herculaneum without audio guides.

Good transport  and organisation.  Unfortunately the audio guides did not correspond to the places in Erculaneum.  In pompeii, it was intermittent. Overall they were amazing places to visit.  This company get you to the places, take the hassle out of buying the tickets, and drive you safely back at the end of the day. 

Journée très bien organisée. On a pu faire les 3 lieux , sans se presser pour herculanum et le mont vésuve. Pour pompei ils nous indiquent les lieux à visiter avec le temps imparti. Prévoir de bonnes chaussures car on marche beaucoup. L'équipe était au top. Ils ont même un peu parler français alors que c'était pas prévu. Audioguide pour herculanum et pompei en français. Très chouette !

Very well organized day. We were able to visit all 3 sites, without having to rush for Herculanum and Mount Vesuvius. For pompei, they show us the places to visit and the time allotted. Don't forget good shoes, as you'll be walking a lot. The team was top-notch. They even spoke a little French, even though we weren't supposed to. Audioguide for herculanum and pompei in French. Very nice!

I didn't really go, I didn't make it to the bus, but I managed to contact the organizater and got my pompeii entrance ticket and used them to go on my own.
10/10 communication experience

Voyage très bien organisé, points de rencontres clair et facile à trouver.
Le temps dans chaque lieu est suffisant pour voir l'ensemble des choses à voir.
Nous recommandons fortement cette activité qui permet de voir 3 lieux emblématiques proche de Naples en une journée !

Hercalanum est un tres joli site qui complète Pompei. Je conseille vivement de faire les 2 
avec audioguide car la visite en sera d'autant plus  intéressante. Attention, si vous voulez les faire en 1 jour, levez-vous tôt et prenez de bonnes chaussures.

C'est un véritable retour en arrière historique.

Hercalanum is a very pretty site that complements Pompeii. I strongly recommend doing both
with an audioguide, as the visit will be all the more interesting. But if you want to do them in 1 day, get up early and take good shoes.

It's like stepping back in time.

Site was very interesting. I'm sure getting tickets in advance would be really helpful in the busy  season, but when we went there were no queues. Instructions were misleading, our tickets were actually collected outside the main ticket office.

Discover the ruins of Herculaneum, a well-preserved Roman town that suffered the same fate as Pompeii in 79 AD.

See picturesque villas, bathhouses, frescoes, metal works, and more preserved in their near-perfect state in Herculaneum.

Enjoy a comfortable experience with round-trip transfers from your hotel in Naples aboard a fully-fitted GT coach with audio commentary on board.

During the low season, from Nov to Mar, the live guide inside the ruins will be replaced with an audio guide if the group is less than 6 people.

The following are not allowed on this tour: Large baggage and suitcases.

You can cancel these tickets up to 48 hours before the experience begins and get a full refund.
